OPINION

TTHR, L.P. d/b/a Presbyterian Hospital of Denton (Presbyterian) appeals the denial of its motion to dismiss filed pursuant to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 74.351(b). See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 74.351 (Vernon 2011). Presbyterian asserts that the suit filed against it by Appellee Amanda Coffman was a health care liability claim, subject to the requirements of chapter 74 of the civil practice and remedies code. Because we agree with Presbyterian that Coffman’s claim is a health care liability claim, we reverse the trial court’s order, render judgment dismissing Coffman’s claims against Presbyterian, and remand the case for a determination by the trial court of costs and attorney’s fees to be awarded to Presbyterian.
